Sharing Calendar - others can not write to it

[Reese]

If I want to share my calendar (Outlook 2002) with 8
others but not allow them to write to it - what steps do I
take. I have right clicked on the calendar, clicked on
properties, gone into the permissions tab and have the
read items and folders visible checked with permission
level: Reviewer.
Thanks for your help

The instructions below are the steps I followed to set up
the calendar on my desktop for viewing only - when setting
up my calendar for viewing on another persons desktop I
get the message "unable to expand the folder". Do I need
to change the permissions on my account on the exchange
server in order to make this work.

Thanks for your help

The other user should be able to open the Calendar folder in your Exchange mailbox by using the FIle | Open | Other User's Folder command.

Thank you for your help, but I'm really slow here so
please bear with me. How do you grant the reviewer
permission to the root of the calendar folder?

To access a shared folder through the folder list, the

mailbox owner needs to grant Reviewer permission to the
root of the mailbox, as well as appropriate permission on
the folder.

The user who needs access then goes into Tools |

Services, brings up the properties for the Exchange
Server service, and on the Advanced tab, adds the
mailbox.

After that, the user will see in the folder list all

those folders in the secondary mailbox to which he/she
has access and can add any of those folders to the
Outlook Bar. See
